Description These guys are soooo elusive! Considering they're in an enclosure in a zoo, they have plenty of places to hide! So I'm chuffed with this one

Maned wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus

Nice We have a pair of these guys at the Phoenix Zoo, but I've never seen them standing up or more than 6 inches from the fence. So, I don't have a shot of them.

Yea, from the comments I've got they seem to be generally hard-to-get when a photographer's around!

DuckOfDeath In reply to Caelitha [2008-04-04 02:52:49 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, they seem to be more nocturnal than the Mexican Grey Wolves. I actually see the Maned's more often, but when I see the Mexican's at least they're awake

We only have maned wolves here Still, there are loads of other species to keep me busy photographing!

No Way! I grew up reading Gerry Durrell's books. Probably half of what I know about animals came from him. I would so love to visit his zoo, someday.

It's a lovely zoo - I know I have to say that because I'm working there, but I've always thought so!

DuckOfDeath In reply to Caelitha [2008-04-07 03:33:27 +0000 UTC]

I'm absolutely sure you're right. Gerry was at the forefront of modern zoo design, so I'm sure his zoo is a model of great design.

I know the feeling... In the zoo here it's quite hard to get a good look at them. However, these last couple of weeks, I've seen them pretty much every time I walked past. It's got to have to do something with spring and babies I guess

Caelitha In reply to Wereldreizigster [2008-03-31 12:37:09 +0000 UTC]

Yea, I think there must be certain times of year when they're more active...our guys haven't realised it yet!

Wereldreizigster In reply to Caelitha [2008-03-31 13:25:10 +0000 UTC]

Well, we had a male for a while, and now he's got a new female, that must be part of it too

I love these darlings. They're like a cross between wolf and fox. They also remind me of hyenas. Lovely shot!
